I just noticed that when creating a new article the explanatory text
that appears before the edit area ends in this bolded line:
Articles that do not cite reliable published sources
will be deleted.
with "reliable published sources" linking to [[Wikipedia:Reliable
sources]]. The promise of deletion is given in a rather absolute manner,
but "reliable sources" is a guideline and is therefore supposed to have
flexibility in its application. Could this line's wording be changed to
something that more accurately reflects this flexibility, or perhaps
link instead to [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]]?
